For you folks used to this weather, it's no big deal, but it's a majorly big deal when it happens down in Kentucky! They don't have much for snow removal services as far as the roads are concerned, and people just don't know how to drive in it! We ended up getting about 10-12 inches so far. The girls are anxious to get out and play, and Roscoe would rather hide in the house all day long (too bad we don't have a sled to pull him around in!) Since we have been in Kansas for the past week, we really needed to get to the store and get some things (milk, what else?). Bear and I went to the store while my parents stayed in with the girls. We came home to a very upset Caitlyn! Apparently when she went upstairs to her room to get dressed, she put her favorite puppet in the world, her dragon as she calls it, on the lamp (and consequently light bulb) for some reason. When she was done dressing, she left her lamp on and went downstairs by grandma and grandpa. After a while, they noticed that something smelled smokey. My mom went upstairs and thought the girls room looked a little smokey, so she called for my dad to come up. He looked at the lamp just at the right time to see a little puff of smoke rise from it and immediately knew what was going on. Oh how lucky we were!!! I heard a fire marshall say once that it wouldn't take more than just 7 minutes for these extremely old buildings to become completely engulfed in flames! Thank God it was caught in time! Caitlyn was in tears about her dragon, but has now learned the lesson that she can not put anything on her lamp! No one got hurt, and hopefully she will remember this lesson for a long time to come! Poor dragon!
